Perfect location

This is our second time our family has enjoyed this beautiful home. We were fortunate to be there during peak leaf color, and it was awesome! I have always loved the Valle Crucis area. The location particularly worked great this trip, as our grandson attending App State was able to join us. Just as our first stay, everything was amazing!

Lovely lovely stay

The setting of the home and the coziness is absolutely perfect! Beautiful piece of property on the river, wrap around porch, all rooms have en suite bathrooms, we loved the two living rooms and the large round table for dining together. Super comfortable home well stocked with all your basic provisions. That is very appreciated. The location is perfect to explore all the nearby towns. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to come back in the summer.

Relaxing stay on the Watauga

Everything needed for comfort and peace is provided. Very clean and well provisioned. Spacious, with two living areas inside and lots of covered porch seating. Very quiet and no traffic on this small lane, watched the deer crossing the fields every day! Easy to reach - no steep driveway.

Perfect rainy weather

We had a blast even though it rained most of our stay. That's the mountains! Hiked in the rain, fished in the rain, played in the rain. Killer Monopoly games inside at night. So much porch time where we never got wet. Coffee and wine always taste better on the porch.

Family Memories

This home is a perfect log cabin with plenty of room for your family. Lots of restrooms. The decor is wonderful. The wrap around porch is the best. I do have to say that the TV situation is a most review. The main living room downstairs does not have a TV. It does on the second floor. It would be better on the first floor where your family gathers for breakfast, lunch and dinner. If you went with adults, it would be easier to entertain then hauling refreshments and drinks up to the second floor. Most importantly is the streaming to watch TV. Most old folks do not know how and that includes me. Please don't let this keep you away from this home. We really enjoyed it very much. I give it a BIG 10....
